Apple Shortbread Pie image

Yummy and reminds me of Grandma's House at Christmas. Many recipes are similar to this one but this one is the best by far. You can use all butter but the shortening helps to brown and crisp the shortbread shell.

This pie is a classic for a reason! The shortbread crust is flaky and the apples are perfectly cooked. I love that this recipe is so easy to follow.

This pie was a disappointment. The shortbread crust was too dry and the apples were not cooked through. I will not be making this recipe again.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover apples. I made it with a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples and it turned out delicious. The shortbread crust was flaky and the apples were perfectly cooked.

The pie was good, but I found the shortbread crust to be a bit too dry. I think I would try using a different recipe for the crust next time.
